Feedlot Stories......................................................................................................
Kendall
Director of Nutrition, Cactus Feeders, Amarillo, Texas
I’ve been in the feedlot business most of my life, starting when I was a boy. My dad was a nutritionist so I got to travel with him, visiting feedlots. And now I have the opportunity to be able to produce wholesome food for families.
Randy
General Manager, Wrangler Feedyard, Amarillo, Texas
I grew up raising cattle on feedlots, and that’s what I’ve been doing here for 20 years. It all comes down to trust and integrity, and I’m really proud to say that a lot of our business is still done with a handshake.

Ron
Owner, Manning Cattle Company, Macy, Indiana
One of the things I’ve tried to pass on to my son and grandson is that it’s hard to get started. We started with virtually nothing. If there’s one thing they need to do, it’s to keep the land intact.
Ethan
Manning Cattle Company, Macy, Indiana
My father and grandfather are the hardest-working people I know — having full-time jobs and then building this farming operation, along with having a wife and kids, and being involved in the community. Hard work is something I’ve learned from them.
